Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun but only 239,000 miles from the Moon. Likewise, the Sun has a mass that is over 20

million times that of the Moon. Earth experiences a strong gravitational attraction to both of these bodies, but for two different reasons. Using what you know about the factors that influence gravity, what specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Moon? What specific characteristic or characteristics contribute to the attraction between Earth and the Sun?

Answer:

Gravity is dependent on the mass of two bodies and the distance between them. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon because they’re relatively close to one another. There is a strong gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun because the Sun is so massive

20.0 -kg cannonball is fired from a cannon with muzzle speed of 1000m/s at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. A second ball
Dovator [93]

The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is

10 ^{7}  \: joules.

Mass of the first ball = 20 kg

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°

The maximum height reached by the first ball is,

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{1}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=    \frac{ {1000}^{2} sin {}^{2}37°}{2 \times 9.8}

= 18478.69 \: m

The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °

=   \frac{ u {}^{2} _{2}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}

=   \frac{ 1000{}^{2}sin^{2} 90°}{2 \times 9.8}[tex] = 51020.41 \: m

For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height

So, the total mechanical energy is,

= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]

= 20 \times 9.8 \times 18478.64  \times  \frac{20}{2} (1000 \: cos37 °)

= 10 ^{7}  The potential energy at the maximum height, = m _{2}gh

= 20 \times 9.8  \times 51020.41

= 10 ^{7} \:J

Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the

\:second \:  cannonball \:  is  \: 10 ^{7}  \:joules.

3. A 5 gm/100 ml solution of drug X is stored in a closed test tube
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The degradation of the drug is a first order process;

Hence;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

Where;

ln[A] = final concentration of the drug

ln[A]o= initial concentration of the drug = 5 gm/100

k= degradation constant = 0.05 day-1

t= time taken

When [A] =[ A]o - 0.5[A]o = 0.5[A]o

ln2.5 = ln5 - 0.05t

ln2.5- ln5 = - 0.05t

t= ln2.5- ln5/-0.05

t= 0.9162 - 1.6094/-0.05

t= 14 days

b) when [A] = [A]o - 0.9[A]o = 0.1[A]o

ln0.5 = ln5 -0.05t

t= ln0.5 - ln5/0.05

t= -0.693 - 1.6094/-0.05

t= 46 days

if another car is following you what is likely the best action you can take to avoid an animal that runs out into the path of yo
Zielflug [23.3K]

Keep your lane position, and sound your horn while braking in a controlled manner. Sudden panic stops are not a good idea, as they could spook the animal, causing it to suddenly dart into the path of another vehicle.
